Birth: September 26, 1827 in Denkiehausen, Holzminden, Niedersachsen, Germany
Arrival: August 2, 1834 in Baltimore, Maryland, United States
Marriage: June 7, 1847 to Lydia Antoinette "Ann" Walker
Death: September 1, 1863 in Fort Delaware, Pea Patch Island, Delaware River.
Henry came to the US with his family just before his 7th birthday, and his family settled in South Carolina. He married Ann at 19 and moved to Georgia. Henry and Ann moved around a bit -- Atlanta, Alabama, New Orleans, and finally Arkansas. Between 1847 and 1863, Henry and Ann had ten children.
On March 26, 1863, Henry enlisted and became a private in the 3rd Regiment Arkansas Infantry. Once he left home, he wrote Ann four letters dated March 26, 1863, April 5, 1863, April 13, 1863, and May 15, 1863.
The Paulman Family Bible reads:
"Henry was taken captive July 3, 1863 at the Battle of Gettysburg. He was wounded in the battle of Devil's Den. He was placed in prison at Fort Delaware, Delaware. The Fort was on Pea Patch Island near Wilmington, Delaware, in the middle of the Delaware River between New Jersey and Delaware. Thousands of Confederate soldiers were imprisoned here. Hundreds died from sickness and injury. There was only one doctor. Food was scarce and everywhere there was filth. Fort Delaware was another Andersonville, the worst prison in the South, in Georgia. In addition to being wounded, Henry became ill with typhoid fever and died Sept. 1, 1863. He and many hundreds are buried in a mass grave in Salem, New Jersey. The cemetery is called Finn's Point National Cemetery. Henry's beloved Ann did not hear from Henry while he was in Fort Delaware. In fact, when Ann died on July 18, 1908, she did not know what had happened to Henry. She only knew he went away to war and never returned."

Because Anton/Anthony was born in Germany, his middle name was perhaps originally spelled Ludwig, rather than Lugwig.
